What Are The Side Effects Of Levothyroxine?
MY DOCTOR HAS GIVEN ME LEVOTHYROXINE SOD TABLETS FOR AN ENLARGED THYROIX. IT APPEARS FROM MY SEARCH THAT I PROBABLY REQUIRE MORE IODINE IN MY DIET. I WAS CONSIDERING IODINE PLUS 2 TABLETS AS I FEEL THE PRESCIBED TABLETS HAVE FAR TO MANY SIDE EFFECTS. WHAT DO YOU THINK

hello
i understand your concern.
You should clearly understand iodine plus is not sufficient to treat your enlarged thyroid.
as in addition to iodine you need levothyroxine is definitely needed for thyroid hormone balance along with iodine...
levo thyroxine is released in market only after testing on thousand of people.
there are relatively some side effects ,which has to be dealed
Hope I was able to answer your question
Please address any more concerns
